freedom is the right to breathe the soul, and if it
can not do the laws are too narrow belts.
Without liberty, man is a syncope.

Hear hear! Great opportunity, this time two of us to speak, gesture, cry out from our consciousness and critical circumstances: therefore, cutlery and manga pipette and give ear.
As you all know (because you know, right?) In our Country is currently a deliberate campaign time to the weakening of political and media freedom of information, freedom-this program, strongly supported by the Government by silence, when not with the connivance, of much opposition, however, is not something new : the silencing of critical voices excessively or potentially uncomfortable at the time was planned by P2, the notorious secret lodge, authoritarian and subversive, among whose ranks included the current Chairman of the Board (card No. 625).
To all those who do not share our intentional alarm would like to offer the facts, but unpleasant and distressing events.
Recently, the international research institute Freedom House has changed the status of freedom of information in Italy by "free" to "partly free", which is unique among European Union member countries. And the final ranking of press freedom in the world of a similar association, Reportes Without Borders, published in 2006, placed our country in an embarrassing 40 th place. With the caveat, however, that a return to power of Silvio Berlusconi (the survey was conducted after the inauguration of the second Prodi government) would translate into a substantial loss of position (in the years of the second Berlusconi government the country will eventually touched even 70 th place).
We have chosen to bring foreign sources as they are considered more impartial. Of course we respect the opinion of those who are not agree with this reading of our contemporary climate, in which case we invite you to turn on TG4.
As one of us has mentioned in the post last Friday, these days Silvio Berlusconi has expressed its intention to prevent, in a special law-making, both the use of wiretaps for investigative purposes (with the exception of investigations of crimes terrorism and organized crime) and the publication of the results, also no longer kept secret. A controversial bill, submitted by Justice Minister Alfano, was the day agreed upon by the Council of Ministers. We believe that this ban as violating the fundamental powers of inspection, will be the victims: the Italian citizens, deprived of the constitutional right to freedom of information.
tool intercepts, adjusted so far nothing at all "degenerate" as pro-government positions are in a loud voice, allowed to shine many scandals of which today we would have been completely unaware, ranging from the unveiling of the system Calciopoli to that of the corruption of some members of the House of Savoy, to the recent horrors of the Clinica Santa Rita and the illegal trade in favor of Berlusconi himself and the director of Rai Fiction SaccĂ . Now we all risk losing the very freedom to be informed of a detection of similar cases, often true not only attacks to justice, but to democracy itself.
So we decided to contribute in the small of our blog to go against this country's freedoms. We will do so even now striving to report, and where necessary to publish any news directly ascertained that we deem necessary for the correct information of our readers, even after the expected entry into force of the law "Alfano-Berlusconi". And we start with the fixed link to add to the blog of the tag of an initiative to which we have already signed up: to arrests us all, a plan of civil disobedience by a prior offense autodenuncia publication of news that according to this shameful act will no longer be made available. In the hope that many of you have a personal blog decide to use it to fuel word of mouth.
do not have the presumption to speak directly to your conscience, and probably do not even have the intention. The way forward seems clear. The commercialization of news and information, propaganda, censorship, phenomena are difficult to manage on the network, and then convinced that the Internet has become the latest (and hopefully the next) true medium where to go, we run this little appeal.
Why are you here are looking for news, not the other way.
On this, we invite you to groom The below list of links, where we reported two latest episode frankly disturbing: it seems, someone has put abut also to undermine the field of information independently. You will find the story of Anthony Monteleone and Carlo Ruta, a young reporter and a historian, who this month have seen close their blog due to the fact that talking about current events and express opinions supported by facts can be so uncomfortable as to trigger the proper mechanism of the old Italian-style censorship. Now, each one judge for themselves.
You sleep well at night? We sleep well: 0.0!
Elias Canetti, Nobel Prize winner for literature and witness of the worst tragedies of the twentieth century (it is having to flee from Nazi Germany as a jew), claimed the right to disobey unjust taxation as the only possible remedy all'irrecuperabile reduction of human beings in the mass. He wrote in the book of his life, and Power Massa: "The road that leads out of the dominion of death also depends on the ability of disobedience of every man and every woman."
The choice is yours. Stay tune.
